These easy Traeger smoked beets use only one ingredient and are SO TASTY. They smoke on the pellet grill in just a couple of hours and require 1 minute of prep time. You’ll also see how I used this recipe to make smoked beet salad with goat cheese and fresh herbs. | sipbitego.com

Instructions
Preheat Traeger Grills or Pitt Boss or whatever pellet grill you’re using to 300 degrees F.
Add beets directly to the smoker grill grates, with some space in between them.
Smoke beets for about 2 hours. You’re finishing smoking beets when you can easily pierce them with a fork.
Remove beets from smoker. When the internal temp is about 205 degrees F or higher, as measured with an internal read thermometer, remove beets and let them cool at least ~10-15 minutes, or until they’re easy to handle with your hands. Use a spoon, knife or fingers (if you want it to look like a crime scene on your cutting board) to remove the beet skins. Dice and serve. (I usually let the beets rest for 25 to 35 minutes before peeling and cutting them).
